Open Heavens Devotional, August 5, 2026: Be Open to Feedback

This devotional encourages believers to stay humble and welcome constructive feedback. Proverbs 1:5 teaches that wise people listen and grow through good counsel. Using the example of Apollos in Acts 18:24–28, the message shows how he became a stronger teacher after Aquila and Priscilla corrected him privately and explained God’s word more fully. Knowledge, talent, or experience should never make anyone unwilling to learn. The reflection also warns against pride and self-deception. Seeking counsel, accepting correction, and relying on the Holy Spirit can help us avoid preventable mistakes and grow in wisdom. Are you open to learning from others and receiving feedback? Bible reading: Jeremiah 6–8.

Apollos' example is a useful reminder that being gifted or knowledgeable does not mean we have outgrown counsel.

Humility matters, but not every criticism is good counsel; feedback should still be weighed carefully against sound teaching.

A simple habit is to listen fully, ask clarifying questions, pray about the advice, then consider what change is genuinely needed.
